Leadership Coaching
In today’s competitive landscape the vital need for leadership talent continues to escalate. Rapid growth, retirement of key executives, and shifting competitive landscapes and shortage of pivotal talent make high-impact development for future leaders more important than ever.
At some point your leaders are likely to encounter a situation in which they’ll welcome insights and guidance from another successful business leader. It could be a new business challenge, a critical change initiative, a role transition that extends beyond their comfort zone or a team that isn’t functioning at full throttle.
Coaching to enhance a skill or create behavioral change is one of the most cost-effective investments you can make. Through our in-depth coaching process, we work one-on-one to identify motivations, create insight into obstacles, and practice new behaviors so leaders and organizations see results immediately.
Our coaches use our formal assessments and regular, face-to-face meetings to provide individualized feedback, create awareness, tap into the leader's motivation for success, outline a concrete development plan, and build repeatable skills and behaviors that lead to results.
Relationship Building: The process begins through our discussions of personal history, career history, business and personal goals to establish the relationship between the manager and coach.
Assessment & Debrief: To facilitate the process of self-discovery, we conduct various self and 360° feedback assessments. We discuss the differences between self-perception and the perceptions of others. We draw on current and past examples to help the manager understand strengths and derailers that prevent their success.
Planning & Goal Setting: We establish specific goals and development activities including stretch assignments to capitalize on the manager's strengths while developing or compensating for derailers that take them off course.
Development & Transition: Typically meetings occur over a 3-4 month period to guide the client through the change process. Then, the coaching process is transitioned to the Senior Leader or other internal coach. It is most successful when the manager is motivated to learn, change and grow.
